As a resident of Bend, Oregon... it was kind of funny to read this and I'm curious about the origin of the name.

Bending is an operation similar to folding, both in real life and in the language. While fold is recursive on data, bend is recursive on a boolean condition (like a pure while that supports multiple branching recursion points).
I was actually looking forward to seeing someone from Bend to make a comment like this
As a fellow resident of Bend I felt the same way when I saw this.
As a native Bendite but not current Bend resident, seeing that word with a capital letter always makes me smell juniper and sagebrush a little bit.
Totally off topic but I'll be driving there later this afternoon. Hoping it's as beautiful as last time!
If you're going to be here for a bit (I am heading out of town on a bike trip for a few days), always happy to grab a beer with fellow HN people!
Unfortunately just the weekend. I'm just in Portland tho so will definitely be back.
Thought the same thing!
